Like hell they will look up the regs.

Which regs?

And it appears that Airbus is doing their best to point out the
potential shortcomings of the Dreamliner design in meeting the special
conditions to the FAA.

They are hoping that people will forget the trouble the A380 has with wings
snapping off, or the trouble other aircraft have with keeping the gear
straight or avoiding trees.

Are you familiar with the term buffer-overrun?

It's a good way to identify incompetent programmers.

We are talking about the flight systems of an aircraft with, as I
suspect you're aware, two pilots who are there and are trained for
such an eventuality.

They have not been trained for this, and in any case, in a fly-by-wire
system, there's not much that they can do if the computer is hacked.


Nope, wrong again, fjukkwit.

An A360 has had it's wings snap off?


News to just about everyone, I would think.

Evidence?
gear straight?
WTF
Microsoft doesn't have crosswind capability?
ROTFL
And what about 'avoiding trees' and what does that have to do with
Airbus?

No, just during departure and approach.
